Fludioxonil

Fludioxonil is a non-systemic fungicide, introduced in 1993 by Ciba-Geigy (now Syngenta). It is used for the treatment crops (particularly cereals, fruits and vegetables, and oramental plants; often in combination with another fungicide such as cyprodinil). Brand names from Syngenta include Celest (seed treatment) and Switch (fludioxonil + cyprodinil for spraying on crops). Fludioxonil is used against Fusarium, Rhizoctonia, Alternaria and Botrytis cinerea.
